Trivia
James Stewart was given the role of Charles Lindbergh after John Kerr had turned it down, owing to his disapproval of Lindbergh's pro-Nazi sympathies and his racist and anti-Semitic views. This was despite the fears of the producers that Stewart was too old for the part. See more »Goofs
Errors in geography: When Lindbergh lands at Brooks Field in San Antonio, there are mountains in the background. There are no mountains near San Antonio. See more »Quotes
